Customization

Associate Engine comes with built-in formats. In addition, Associate Engine supports complete customization through the use of Page Templates and Format Templates. Page Templates let you format the overall page (such as page header/footer). Format Templates, let you format the actual results (such as product details). For example, see the following pages that show several Format Template examples:
